Classroom Culture

This room will be a relaxing and caring environment in which you can pursue academic, social, and emotional growth. The purpose of our classroom rules and procedures is to ensure your right to learn in a calm, interesting, and supportive environment. By reflecting on your choices, you can work on creating a better version of yourself. You are more capable than you realize.

Be a respectful, responsible learner who supports other people in class.

Be in class from bell to bell, working quietly, with your phone put away.

Students will be kind and helpful. They will welcome and include all students in the classroom.

Make up-lifting comments to others; not put-downs. We are a team and will have each other’s backs.

Help your classmates be successful by respecting their right to work in a quiet, safe, calm classroom.

Be a good role-model. Apathy is contagious.

Give “I” messages to others to work out conflicts.
